And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 6 of 1 Samuel. After seven months of affliction, the Philistines consult their priests and diviners to determine how to return the ark. The proposal to accompany it with a guilt offering shows that they recognize the situation cannot be resolved simply by sending the object away. The test involving the cows carrying the ark allows them to distinguish coincidence from divine intervention according to the Philistines’ own narrative criteria. The passage presents even Israel’s enemies recognizing that Israel’s God must be taken seriously.
